Hypophosphatemia in patients with hepatitis <scp>B</scp> virus infection undergoing long‐term adefovir dipivoxil therapy

Abstract

Hypophosphatemia occurred in 35% of the patients under the long-term treatment with ADF. Although it was not possible to predict the decrease in phosphate before ADF therapy, decreases in uric acid and eGFR may be the early events relating to low phosphatemia.
